CHAPTER XXXI. 1
Chen Xi, what do you take me for?!
1
Song Li did not show up for the next three interviews, and a few days after his father was released from prison, he followed his mother back to his father's hometown, Song Li told his uncle that he would not be admitted to graduate school, Han Xiaomo said, Song Li, you are the second fool after Qu Ran.
Chen Xi didn't see her again after getting engaged to Shi Mengqi, so he asked Song Li to move back to the villa, and he rotated between the company and the dinner. Every time I saw Chen Xi come home drunk, Song Li was angry and distressed at the same time, we can't change the world, the only thing we can do is not to be changed by this world, but slowly, we compromised in the struggle, smoothed our edges and corners little by little, and stayed with the world.
The days slipped through his fingers little by little, and Song Li no longer guarded the clock on the wall to count the time when Chen Xi would go home, nor did he look at the calendar to count the number of times they met in a month. Mom called from her hometown, grandpa was hospitalized, and their return to Chang'an was delayed. The night before, Su Bei called her and asked her if it was convenient to come out, saying that it was about Xiao Su Forget. Chen Xi went abroad, and Liu Xin would come over to stay with her for an hour or two every day, and today was no exception. When Liu Xin came, he brought something to Song Li, Chen Xi bought it for Song Li abroad, a bag, just a few words of greeting, the company called, Liu Xin said goodbye politely, and then left, Song Li sat in place and looked at the brand-name bag for a long time, and suddenly smiled inexplicably.
Song Li hurriedly went out after changing her clothes, and the place where she met with Su Beihao was the welfare home.
"It's really not easy to see you now." Su Bei smiled.
"Nope." Song Li bowed his head, a little embarrassed.
"Here's the thing, we contacted Su Yi's brother, and he is now willing to take the child away, but they are now working in Shenzhen, and the conditions are not very good, there is already a child at home, and I am afraid that I can't afford to raise another one, and when the child is older, I am also afraid of delaying the child's schooling, and then I told him, you are willing to replace raising this child for a period of time, Su Yi's brother is still more hesitant, the last time you came, I also told you."
Song Li nodded, she saw the news sent by Su Bei abroad, and after returning to China, she found Su Bei as soon as she returned to understand the situation, and the reply given at that time was that Su Yi's brother needed time to think about it, and Su Bei asked Song Li to go back and wait for the news.
"The day before yesterday, we called Su Yi's brother again, and he said that he wanted to meet you." Su Bei looked at Song Li a little cautiously as he spoke, for fear that she would misunderstand something, so he hurriedly explained, "Don't get me wrong, he doesn't mean anything else, it's just that Su Yi knows you, but her brother doesn't know you, so it's also his nephew, so you can't just give it to someone casually." ”
"I know, when is he coming?" Song Li asked.
"This ······" Su Bei scratched his head, he really didn't want to extinguish the hope that Song Li had just ignited, "His brother said that it would be the end of the year." ”
"What?" Song Li frowned.
"Su Yi, her brother and her sister-in-law and their children are now in Shenzhen, the family can go home once a year, after all, it is not easy to earn money while working outside, her brother said that the children were just brought to Shenzhen this year, indeed, their economic conditions are not very good."
"Can I go to Shenzhen to find them?" Song Li asked.
Su Bei hesitated, "There's no problem with you going, it's just that the procedures for adopting a child still have to come back." ”
Song Li sighed, leaned back on the back of the chair, and did not speak.
"Song Li, I know you're in a hurry, but there's no way, don't say that your conditions don't meet the requirements for adoption, even if the child's relatives are still alive, this child can't be given to you."
"I know, I'm sorry for you." Song Li barely squeezed out a smile.
After playing with Su Forget in the welfare home for a while, at Song Li's insistence, Su Bei drove her to a nearby bus stop. Thinking that his parents hadn't been back to his hometown for a long time, Song Li got on the bus back to the family home.
After briefly cleaning the house, Chen Xi's call came.
"Where are you, aren't you at home?" Chen Xi asked.
"No, I'll go back to my house, there's been no one at home for a long time, come back and clean up." Song Li sat on the sofa and rested and said.
"Well, I'll pick you up later."
"You're back? Why don't you call ahead? Song Li brushed the strands of hair that hung down in front of his eyes.
"I want to surprise you." Chen Xi half-jokingly.
Song Li did smile, not because he was "surprised", but because he laughed, "Hang up." She said.
Chen Xi also smiled, "Whatever you want to eat at night, I'll take you there." Oh, by the way, did you receive the gift I asked Liu Xin to bring you? ”
"Well, it's there for you."
"Why not?"
"I went home to clean up and carry such an expensive bag, didn't I recruit thieves?" Song Li said with a smile.
Chen Xi on the other end of the phone was silent.
"Okay, I'll go back and get it later, I'll carry it on my back for dinner in the evening, okay?"
"Well, I'll be there in ten minutes, are you done cleaning up over there?"
"So fast? You ······ Why don't you just come in and let your driver and assistant go back, I'll have to wait a while." ”
"Okay, I see. You open the door for me later. ”
After hanging up the phone, Song Li sped up the speed of his hand, but when Chen Xi knocked on the door, the kitchen had not yet been cleaned up.
"You're here." Song left the door and saw Chen Xi and said.
"How much more, I'll help you." Chen Xi didn't have a stand, took off his suit and rolled up the sleeves of his shirt.
"No, no," Song Li still had rubber gloves on his hands, "You just go and sit there, you don't have to do anything, oh, if you want to drink water, pour it yourself, I just boiled a pot, there!" Song Li pointed to the kettle on the ground, and then went into the kitchen again.
Half an hour later, Song Li finally finished cleaning up the house with the help of Chen Xi, and the two of them washed their hands and went out. I didn't see Chen Xi's car at the gate of the courtyard, so Song Li asked, "Where is your car?" ”
"I asked my assistant to drive me back and pick me up tomorrow morning." Chen Xi took Song Li's hand beside him, Song Li didn't notice much, just nodded.
"And what do you want to eat?" Song Li asked.
"Say, what do you want to eat?" Chen Xi's words made Song Li stunned for a moment, remembering that when she and Ran Changan were together, there was a time when the two of them had something to do that day, Song Li had a temporary make-up class at school at night, Ran Changan still had a car that had not been repaired, at five o'clock in the afternoon Ran Changan was eating near the auto repair shop, and asked Song Li what he liked to eat, Song Li said that he didn't know what was in the store he went to, Ran Changan read all the rice bowls on the menu to Song Li, Song Li lay on the bed in the dormitory and said that he wanted to eat fish-flavored shredded pork rice bowl, and Ran Changan ordered fish-flavored shredded pork rice bowl. At that time, a little warmth between the two of them will be infinitely amplified by memories now, and he eats her favorite dishes, making up for the regret that he can't be accompanied.
"Song Li?" Chen Xi called her again.
"Huh?" It didn't take long to go from memories to reality, and Song Li looked at Chen Xi and smiled unnaturally.
"I said what do you want to eat?" Chen Xi asked again.
"Oh, is the hot pot good, I haven't eaten it for a long time."
"Aren't you too hot?" Chen Xi pinched Song Li's face.
"It's okay, it's all air-conditioned."
